Sounds good, but not great

App does not sync my steps. It says I reached the goal of steps from my Apple Watch, but resets back to zero once in the app. Also, it randomly unlocks my apps for long period of time. Would not pay for a glitchy app. Better off using regular screen time on iPhone.

Sorry about the syncing issues with your Apple Watch and the random unlocking - that's definitely not how it should work. If you'd like help troubleshooting, feel free to reach out through the app's support section.

Great concept but not practical

I have a daily step goal but the app just locks your apps even if you hit the goals. I don’t want to keep walking to get a minimum amount of scroll time.

Hey Swethapd, sorry the app is still locking after you hit your goal - that's definitely not how it should work! Can you email us at support so we can fix this for you?

Great idea but doesnt work

Steps re set randomly so I was never able to reach the goal.

subscription problem

i HATE the subscription issue . the app is absolutely heading in the right direction and can definitely help out with physical health and fitness !! but why after one use of the app do i have to pay for a subscription ? not only is that INCREDIBLY stupid - but i think that we shouldnt have to use a subscription for it period .

Sorry the subscription kicked in so quickly! We're working on letting people try more before deciding, but for now you can reach out to support if you need help with anything.

Funktioniert selten

Die App tut ihren Zweck, und sperrt mein Social Media zuverlässig. Leider hat sie nach ca. einer Woche aufgehört meine Schritte zu tracken. Es steht zwar unten in der kleinen Schrift immer wie viele Schritte ich gegangen bin, und wie viele Kilometer, aber die große Anzeige zeigt immer 0 Schritte. Die Apps werden also nie freigeschaltet, egal wie viele Schritte ich mache. Ich kann auf meine Apps nur durch „Give up“ zugreifen… Dafür möchte ich nicht mehr so viel Geld zahlen!

Entschuldige die Probleme mit der Schrittverfolgung! Es klingt so, als wären die Daten da, aber sie werden im Hauptzähler nicht richtig angezeigt. Kannst du uns eine E-Mail an den Support schicken, damit wir dir helfen können, das zu beheben?

Great idea, doesn’t work

First few days worked really well and lowered my screen time significantly. But it stopped syncing my step count and left me locked out of my apps. If they fix the bugs it might be worth it.

Too buggy

This app has so much potential but it never syncs properly. Even after I updated it, I keep getting a message that it failed to load steps. So, my phone says I have enough steps to unlock but the app says I have zero steps. Will not renew subscription.

App doesn’t work

Love the premise but it’s simply not effective. It doesn’t count my steps, buttons are confusing to use and the price is too high for something this wonky. Disappointing but I’ll be cancelling my subscription.

Incorrect counting

This app does not properly track your steps. It who forth out and be behind 1-2k steps. I don’t recommend. Great idea but the app needs working on

New version coming out tomorrow with all these fixes! Thank you!

Great in theory

App looks great, easy to start. First few minutes I was laughing so hard when I couldn’t get into Facebook. It unlocked after a few hours of normal mom morning. Then app said “to continue, subscribe”. Absolutely $4.99 a week is a ridiculous charge for a simple app. So I deleted it. I’d pay about $2.99 a month for this service and that’s about it.

Thanks Katie! We hear you on the pricing - we're always looking at ways to make it work better for everyone.

Bugging out always

I paid the £4.99 as it worked at first in the three days and thought happy days this’ll be good. Nope, I don’t know if it’s internet connection or disconnect between the apps or what it is, but despite constant refreshing, it doesn’t update the steps right ever and is so random as to when you do and don’t get access to your blocked apps. Such a shame as it is such a promising app but lots needs done behind the scenes to fix before getting charged a ridiculous £5 a week for something that doesn’t work right at all

Wish it worked. Good concept.

This app would have been great. The couple times it did seem to accurately tracks steps brought good routine and balance into my life. However it only works 10% of the time. So not worth a paid subscription or even free usage. If this app gets the work it needs to function I would happily re download and pay the 4.99 a month.

Sorry it's been so unreliable for you! That's definitely frustrating when the tracking isn't consistent. If you'd like to troubleshoot what might be causing the step detection issues, feel free to reach out to support and we can help figure out what's going on.

Nice concept, faulty execution

I noticed that it doesn’t sync to the steps taken and also seems a bit glitchy with blocking apps. It’s an excellent concept but falters in the execution

Good concept

Love the idea but it doesn’t actually sync to my steps. Also pretty expensive for just one app.

Doesn’t work

Great premise but the app doesn’t register how many steps I’ve done. Plus £5 a week/£20 per month is crazy!

Ok, but expensive and full of bugs

I’ve been using the app for several days and it has helped me limit my doom scrolling which is nice. But when the day comes to an end and it switched over to a new day, for some reason my steps for that day don’t count. The only way I’ve found to bypass this is to ‘give up’ and then after that, it works for the day. I’ve had to do that every morning for my steps to count towards a goal. Also, when it gives me a ‘guilt free’ break, it gives me two instead of one- doubling the time I want to break for. And when the break is up, it doesn’t actually kick you off of the app. You have to close your app and get back into ‘steps unlock’ for your apps to lock back up again. Which kind of sucks because I get carried away scrolling and don’t realize I’ve done it longer than I wanted to, then I actively have to close my apps and lock them myself instead of the app doing what it claims to do, which is kick you off the app when your break is up.
Other than that though, it’s okay. It motivates me to move more throughout the day which is nice. I just wish it was cheaper and less buggy.

This is great feedback, we are releasing a new update in a few days to fix all these issues. Thank you once again!

Great in theory

I love the idea of this app, but unfortunately it does not work well. The app does not track my steps and although I walked over the amount of steps I needed, with my phone in hand, it still said I walked 0 steps. I will say that I did use social media way less, because I was locked out of the apps, but I canceled the free trial because I am simply not willing to pay for an app that is so glitchy and I have to uninstall and reinstall every time I want it to track my steps correctly.

Glitchy

I’m using the paid version and it’s incredibly glitchy.
My pedometer will have me at 5 k steps and my app will have me at 0. It will also randomly set my goal to 10k and not allow me to unlock the apps.
The 10 minute unlock will also start without me authorizing it and then repock the apps without me getting my screen time.
